[s-cars] Were all TAP chips for 20V bad?

[TM]

Dave-
The problem I have w/ TAP is all second-hand, but here's my opinion
(worth about as much as your pocket lint, but anyway):

TAP uses a wastegate spring that really is unnecessary and unsafe should
the WGFV fail and the car overboosts for whatever reason. Also, TAP has
a really bad track record on their software in terms of smoothness,
timing,
etc. and has a really bad rep. for customer service. Lots of A4 1.8t
guys
who unfortunately bought TAP could not get the software revised if they
had timing issues, something that has not been the case w/ GIAC or APR.
Also, there is a lister here who bought Ivor's "race car," which turned
out
to be totally misrepresented and a POS. Due to all of this, I'll never
patronize TAP, ever.
